Are you unable to reach the Injured worker because he or she is never home or is reportedly sleeping and cannot be disturbed?
Did the injured worker move out of state or country shortly after filing claim?
Did the claimed injury occur immediately prior to a strike, layoff, plant closing, job termination or job completion?
Has the Injured worker refused diagnostic procedures to confirm injury?
Is the injury inconsistent with the nature of work done?
Is the date/time/place of the injury unknown?
Are details difficult to obtain?
